50th Post Give Away and Catch-Up

Well here it is my long awaited 50th post...... I have been so busy this week and haven't had a chance until now to blog. Here is a parcel that landed in my post box this week. It is from the lovely Jenny. I just love it. Jenny is a beautiful stitcher.

Jenny sent to me in Maree's Redowrk Cushion Swap. Isn't the cushion gorgeous? The candle is too - it smells beautiful.

Here is the Redwork Cushion which I sent off to my partner. My partner, Pat, does not have a blog but she has sent me a lovely e-mail telling me that she had received the cushion and goodies so I am glad that they have arrived safely.

This is Amy (10Yo DD) the major reason for my busy week........ Amy has broken her ankle (Long Story) and is now in a back slab cast until the swelling goes down. We will get the verdict from the Orthapedic Surgeon on Thursday as to what happens next which is likely to be a full cast for 6 weeks.

And here is the Spring Swap gift which I sent to my partner, Kris in Linda's Spring Swap.

I made her a table runner and journal cover and sent a few other goodies.

The shop development is going okay - Slowly but surely. It is totally lined now and the new wall is up along with the front glass doors. My next major task is to paint and clean. But I am off to the Quilted Crow's Autumn Gathering tomorrow so those tasks will have to wait until Sunday to be started. My new "web shop" is currently being constructed and hopefully will be up and running within the next few weeks.

And now to my 50th post give away. It has come around so fast. Here are 5 Blender fat quarters which will be stocked in my shop (when it finally opens) and also 6 packs of Madeira Metallic Embroidery Thread (Which I also have in stock) in some yummy colours.

Now for the *rules* :-

Your poor Daughter! My Daugher broke the growth plate in her foot last year. Fortunately, they just wrapped it with a special gauze that stiffened slightly, not a regular cast. It was tough for her as she is a dancer and couldn't dance for 6 weeks! Hope your Daughter mends quickly. I just discovered your blog and can see I will love spending more time here! Congrats on your posting milestone!
